Followed Sketch #595 at Freshly Made Sketches to create this card for a guy who loves to camp. I was inspired by Cindy's card entry to use a stencil for my starry background, so I also entered this card in the Anything Goes Challenge at Happy Little Stampers. I smooshed VersaMark through the star stencil then embossed the stars with silver glittery embossing powder. Found some old SU designer paper that had the perfect pattern for the teepee/tent and as a bonus, the reverse side was perfect for the trees. The Happy Camper title was cut from another piece of designer paper, though it is a little difficult to see it very well. Was going to forgo embellishments, but had a 'happy accident' with the glue, so had to cover it up. I actually like how the blue dots add a subtle coordinating touch. Thanks for stopping by!
